Not good. This could be the start of some bad stuff going down in the eastern hemisphere.

TVBS cable news showed the convertible the president was riding in parked outside a Tainan hospital.

I wonder if that's the Veteran's Hospital near where I used to work?

Anyway, I really hope this was an accident. If not, I have a hinky feeling...

Yeah, no kidding. We already lost an ally in Spain, I sure hope we don't lose one in Taiwan.

JohnHuang2 just posted an article that said the president's "convertible" was now parked outside the hospital.

If there are pictures, can someone ascertain if it was a 1960 Lincoln? If so I need to wake up my stockbroker. :(

Commercial airliners...WRONG!

Taiwan military and police, even the non-wacko populace, would not allow such small scale inroads.
Balance is in PRC ability to land enough troops in one place to overpower defenses, then follow up with armor and airpower.
"One place" is a rather limited set of options.
They will not simply trip in through customs checkpoints.

That ability is improbable and certainly not proven.
